A wonderful place, located right in front of the cathedral. Free admission. A modern presentation of the exposition, located on several floors. It is not boring for both adults and children, the interiors of different eras are presented. There is an interactive one. There is a place to take an interesting photo for memory. There is a lot of printed information in the lobby - maps, brochures, postcards. Souvenirs are on sale. There is a place for a traveler to sit down and relax. Again, a free toilet. There is also a cafe, but it is expensive and not interesting, sandwiches, coffee, desserts. It is better to go around the house, go to the bay on the market square and for the same money taste salmon with vegetables or meatballs. In general, the museum perfectly visualizes the history of both Helsinki and Finland, conveys the spirit of the city.
A very interesting place and for free! I advise tourists. You can come here with children, there is a children's room where children can play and adults can take funny photos. Or just sit at the tables in the lobby on the ground floor and take something to the cafe if you are tired. There are storage rooms where you can leave backpacks and bags. Part of the museum is dedicated to the history of Helsinki, and there are small exhibitions on the upper floors. The exposition is modern and interesting.
A small but very interesting museum. It is open for free admission. There are spaces where children can play: try on the profession of a shoemaker, for example; sit at antique desks or stay in the teacher's place. There are rooms decorated like standard Finnish apartments of the last century. There is a lot of interactive information on the stands.
